9 people were arrested in Nuttabooi informal settlement in Kleinzee, in the Northern Cape, on Saturday, 25 January 2025.

Police said they acted on a tip-off from Crime Intelligence about people who are allegedly in the country illegally. 

This led to the arrest of nine suspects aged between 28 and 44 for allegedly being in the country illegally, after they failed to produce any documentation that allowed them to be in the country.

The police said a multi-disciplinary team also arrested two suspects, aged 40 and 42, for illegal mining.

Equipment believed to be used in the commission of a crime and liquor were confiscated by the police.
